- Today I’m flying on Africa’s largest airline for the very first time.
Ethiopian Airlines currently operates an 141 aircraft modern fleet throughout
a vast international network.
Dubai is one of their busiest route and allows many African expats and visitors in the UAE to comfortably and affordably fly in and out.
I’m flying on one of their 4 B777-300ER’s that’s reserved for the highest density routes.
And I promise you that there are some interesting things to see, such as a thrust reverser malfunction!
Come and join me to experience a flight on this fast growing airline and to see what product they offer.
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Addis Ababa Bole International Airport
To: Dubai International Airport, The United Arab Emirates
Flight Number: ET602
Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-300ER
Registration: ET-APX
Flight Time: 03:47

Some times I fast forward on some trip reports I come across by some other YT channels but the information he puts in his videos is just so useful whether you’re an aviation geek or not hehe
Thanks, that is so good to know! Sometimes I feel like I want to transmit a little too much info..
Keep enjoying and thanks again!
Very true. Your knowledge and understanding of planes and its function makes you one of the favourite. Keep it up. Greetings to the family especially the little boy.
Honestly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@TheLayoverAviation I would like you to fly into Nigeria some day.
0:12
Your intro always gives me a great sense of well-being.
Happy to hear that Lynne, thanks!!
I am a frequent flyer of Ethiopian airlines and have taken many in flight videos. Your vlogs are really nice. Keep it up
I’ll have a look. Thanks for writing!
by the way; as you’re a frequent traveler, is it a habit not to get any cups?
@@TheLayoverAviation am not sure what cups you are referring to? 😊
I love the work that you put into and your information along with the review
Thanks Nabeegh! It’s a lot of work but I do it with pleasure :)
Nice change to see a African airline reviewed, the beautiful 77W my favourite aircraft of all time after the much loved 747s. Hopefully soon they will upgrade the cabin a little etc! That green colour is not appealing! I was pleasantly surprised to see how nice Addis Abbaba airport looked. Great stuff mate 👍
It’s becoming much harder to fly the B747’s.. The cabin, like you mentioned, has potential for much better. Specially the seat colors.. 😵💫
Thanks for being here again Paul!
@@TheLayoverAviation yes unfortunately sadly true! Always 👍
You are so lucky to travel to these countries. Btw I liked that buttery landing 10/10 for that!
The landing was the best part!
One of the best trip reports I've seen. Explained everything well and liked the humour too. Enjoyed watching the video.
Thanks a lot for the kind words, I am glad you did!
Heyy bro! That seemed like a pleasant flight...Course' i did not see that too :)
Thnks again for a nice journey video..
i’ve seen such funny things in toilets..
thanks for being here Martin!
Awesome Review nd also thx for da Info,Very Useful . Love ur content Bro, Keep it Up
Thanks a lot, very glad you enjoyed it!
I had a bunch of frequent flier points - aka Eurobonus with SAS - and 2 trips coming up this winter, first from ARN to DXB and secondly ARN - BOM, but I hadn't enough points for both trips. ET had availability to DXB via ADD. To Mumbai I found availibility with LH outbound, ARN-MUC-BOM with LH (boring, but good) and back again BOM-LHR-ARN with AI (and SAS last leg). Remembering how good of a service and food you got on your AI flight review, I ended up chosing LH/AI for the frequent flier trip and given this review I'm even more happy with my choice. :) It didn't hurt flying EK to Dubai either! :D Thanks for a great review, as always!
Interesting comment about reverse thrust. Yet another good report with excellent airport views. You are a good report writer
It’s cool to experience these things sometimes, right?!
Thanks for writing, loved the comment :)
I’m in love with your video’s!
very glad to hear!
I Have Not Try Out Ethiopian B777-300 Yet.Great Work
I tried it for you😁
Ethiopian airlines my favorite from Africa always nice capture Good job
I still have many others to try to be able to say..!
I think it would’ve been funny if you told the pilot that the spoilers were still retracted after engine shutdown, his reaction would certainly be interesting hahahaha
I know right? But in my experience pilots are a kind of species that strongly dislike being wrong or corrected. That’s why they all go through, including cabin crew, to yearly CRM classes, which is a topic I might touch on some different day.
Thanks for watching my friend!
@@TheLayoverAviation Makes sense, and in that case I completely agree with you🙏🏼
Whoops!!!!
Well I fly the A320 myself and would absolutely love Alex visiting us in the flight deck with his extensive aviation knowledge😉
Great Trip report buddy!
Obviously the seat furry came to you ;) Three seats!
The GE90 enging sounds are awesome, I'm going to make that my alarm clock :D
The reverse during taxi and the spoliers deploid were really bizarre, I wonder what happened!
cant wait for the next one!
The 3 seat story is becoming so insanely hard. I’ve never experience such full flights as now. I wonder where all that inflation and hard times are as I just simply don’t understand. Fares are 2-5 times of what they used to be a year ago. But I continue to do
my best to be the seat fairy.
Take care Itai!
great video, as usual, thanks a lot 🙂
A big thanks to you Eric!
This is one of the products I've always wanted to fly!
It’s nice. I still wish to try their business before I say that I actually prefer many other airlines. I hope you get to try it soon.
Lovely trip report as always Alex! Very warm and nice. Always waiting for your new videos! Enjoy your time in Croatia
Thanks Andrew!! I had a great time indeed. Returned with an additional +3kg.
As an anecdote, my internet there is sooo slow that I couldn’t upload the video from the house and had to go to the grocery store and pretend to shop around for 2 hours! Now that’s dedication😂
@@TheLayoverAviation You never escape mother-in-law fulfilling food. Did you travel in Croatia a bit?
Hi 👋 from 🇷🇺 RUSSIA. You have great videos 📹 airlines of the planet 🌏 the world is closer with you.
Hello back from Croatia!
I hope to be able to fly a Russian airline soon..
Thanks for the nice words!
Nice flight report. When the plane landed I expected to see the thrust reverser open but it did not on this particular flight.
Every video is very knwloedgeful. In this video i learned that ethiopian airlines have lot of 777, 787 and 350 planes . And also for US the plan has a stop in dublin.
Thank you for giving this information.
interesting fact about the "pin"....THANKS
Always a pleasure Marc :)
Emirates is the largest operator of the B777-300ER(extended range)series aircraft ! Glad u have come back
Proud to be a frequent flyer🎉🎉
That is very much so true! A massive fleet they have (the next video is on one of them..)
love hearing the flaps & slats and also engine starup on 77W, I flew 77W on EVA Air, seating right next to the engine, and it feels/sounds so nice, and sat in
Premium Eco.
The B77W is just out of this world! What a beast those engines are. Glad you enjoyed the sounds and experience!
Nice new experience.
It was indeed :)
Thanks for watching Abdul!
Wow another great vlog honestly if I didn’t know this airline was from Ethiopia I would never has guessed that africas biggest airline is from Ethiopia
Quite a surprise, right!? And they are profit making, which most African airlines are not..
So they have +150 planes and connect almost every African destination to major destinations and those where Africans mostly move to or live in. So it’s a business model mostly for them.
See you around Ali!
Woah! Another exotic airline,and it looks fantastic! Never judge a book by it cover! Worker really close to active runway..holy Jumbo.... The best sound ever, GE90 startup! Cheers mate! 😎 I hope to move to Dubai one day! See you there some day! 😇
Are you pilot or just big avgeek? Beacuse you know everything about every move of the plane,keep it up!😂
I need to do a new tripreport from me soon as possible, think my next tripreport for my viewers and you will be SQ A380..i hope you will like it!
I ENJOYED MY STAY AS EVERY TIME! SEE YOU SOON MATE!
I’ve got some kind of pilot training.. But I don’t want to do it as a profession as I’m way to active and talkative and wouldn’t be able to be locked behind a door for hours.
I can’t wait for your A380 video!!
And yes, the workers were insane to see!
Interesting 👍✈
Thanks for watching!
Another blockbuster vlog mate. By the way I couldn't understand the reason behind cup-less catering :)
Me neither. Because there were cups as I was given a tea in a cup.. I was expecting more of a : open your mouth and we’ll pour the tea inside situation..
Thank You!
A big thanks to you!
Would really appreciate a Sunexpress video if possible? Nice video!
I’ll try. But it’s a little hard here from Dubai.
Maybe later on!
Gorgeous views, that one in the coast reaching the red sea?
It was the Gulf of Suez. On the right there were views of the Suez Canal.
Thank you for sharing your experience on Ethiopian Airline. If you Add the flight cost it Could be more informative .
እናመሰግናለን ።
I don’t think it was much for such a route, maybe around $200.
I don’t mention the costs because it keeps changing. What applied to me that day might be 10 times more today..
Those Kenya airways nuts had me totally confused for a second
I felt like a snack with the wine and still had some from KQ business the day prior 😄
@@TheLayoverAviation totally got you. Keep up the great content 😊
Great report as always🙂Q: do you ever use the cupholder?
Thanks!
And absolutely not! So annoying. I sometimes forget about it and spill my drink.
How about yourself?
@@TheLayoverAviation No never, it’s useless.
What a diverse fleet...... crazy. Polar opposite to Emirates or Ryanair/easyJet
Very much so. It’s in a category of its own.
Safe flight friend
You too! :)
Great info. I don't know...not get a "safety first" feeling with this aircraft/airline. The airport? What are they doing so close? Super video as always 👍
I have the same feeling.. But ok, I’ve seen a lot in Africa😂
There were many moments where I was like “what is going on?!”
@@TheLayoverAviation Hmmm
Ethiopian, is the Emirates of the African airlines. Ethiopian and Emirates they look alike, big and bold liveries; true hub and spoke operators.
Prachtig video weer!
I think Addis Bole airport is in desperate need of a new airport with a fleet with more then 50 widebodies.😅
Well, the terminal could use an update but I really like how busses are used for 80% of flights. I love that! I was actually annoyed to have one of the few gates..
Bedankt!
I am travelling with Ethiopian Airlines in 1 week. Do I need a transit visa as a South African passport holder? My layover is only 2 hours. I looked on their visa website and it said I don't need it as long as I stay in the transit area for not more than 8-12 hours I think. Is this accurate?
How do you know the destinations of most planes you spot during filming? 😃
flightradar!
What’s ur equipment set up and window mount
iPhone 13 Pro Max and my hands, that’s all😂
Timely review for Karachi-based viewers - Ethiopian Airlines starting flights in March 2023. Great stuff!!
I didn’t know they started those flights.
I hope to visit Pakistan soon!
11:29, That's good that they keep the Boeing 777 in a 3-3-3 seat configuration because the seat and aisle are wide and it's comfortable. Other airlines like Thai Airways, Turkish Airlines, and Singapore Airlines, they are keeping the Boeing 777-300ER in a 3-3-3 configuration because the seat and aisle are wide and it's good and comfortable and I like it.
Hi can you please travel on any Pakistani airline to Islamabad? I suggest you travel on Serene Air or Airblue from Dubai
I will go to Pakistan, as soon as I’ve got some extra time off. But I’ll rather try PIA first :D
You promised to go on MEA, the Cedar Jet. Waiting on that
Yes, but I can’t go right now, can I? I have a job and a family. Work does not take me to Lebanon, so I have to go on my time off. I’ll do it, can’t say when.
Any footages of Dubai International Airport whether be in the beginning or end would be greatly appreciated.
I am weekly once or twice at DXB so I’m so tired of that airport that I barely film anything. I’ll try!
@@TheLayoverAviation Okay, but it never tires some people out besides myself. Hey, it is always good to try something new once in a while.
Thanks for the video. How does Ethiopian manage to fly from Addis to Sao Paulo (approximately 10,000 km with a flying time of over 12 hours), without a technical stop? Does the plane take off with lots of fuel but a reduced payload? Similarly, Delta and United fly out of Johannesburg (Elevation 5558 ft) for 15 hr plus flights to Atlanta and Washington without technical stops. How do they manage to do that?
I guess that the B787-8 dedicated to fly that route is not very restricted.
And it’s around 11 hours to get there, so not much in long haul travel terms. The States would be further and with much more passenger demand.
Regarding the Johannesburg situation, I’ll have a look. It depends on so many factors..
@@TheLayoverAviation In the past, Delta operated a 777-200 LR between JNB and ATL. They currently operate the A350. United operates the B787 for the 15-hour flight between JNB and EWR.
I sometimes think doesn't a single engine taxi in big airports cause fuel imbalance? or are they fueled in such a way in one more than the other?
Good point. To answer you; it doesn’t. An engine does not solely consume fuel from a single deposit and that’s it. The plane smartly keeps the fuel balanced and distributed by fuel transfers.
@@TheLayoverAviation Oh, Thanks alot! I believe crossfeeds do their thing 😄
Hope you will be review the Nepal Airlines a330❤️
I eventually will, whenever possible😃
Hi in the next video can you please fly from Dubai to Auckland by Emirates
Not in the next one.. I have a job and family, so I can’t just fly around..
But work is taking me to New Zealand later this year!
thank you for this, most "aviation youtubers" only seem to do free(?) Business class trips. not really helpful for the majority of us
And also it is way more lucrative to complain or make a big deal out of stuff.. Simply Aviation is quite honest, I like them a lot.
Despite the danger, it would be so cool to do some plane spotting where the workers were literally next to the active runway.
I am afraid I wouldn’t get any work done 😅
I would work for free!
TOTALLY LOXE THIS SURPRISE
Much more coming! :D
When are you going to release the Emirates first class video?
I don’t know.. It deserves to be perfect and I have some more flights scheduled in Emirates First so I want to see which one I want to publish.. I have a huge backlog of over 70 flights filmed..
70 Emirates flight report backlog?
They keep adding names to the planes that they have in the fleet. What does it all mean?
Many airlines have the tradition to baptize planes and name them.
But quite a few stopped doing it.
KLM comes to mind now. All the planes are named there.
@@TheLayoverAviation Interesting.
You may have addressed this in the past. If so, I missed it. Is most of your weekly travel for business? And if you're comfortable answering, what line of work are you in?
I know in an earlier flight you flew to San Francisco for about 5 to 6 hours for business, and it was a short job that allowed you to take another 16-hour flight back home to your family! Thanks for sharing your travels.
It’s a very long story.. I do quite a lot. But quickly resumed, I lead a team of people in a major hospitality and travel company. I was going to stay in San Francisco but I managed to do everything in a morning so I went straight back and skipped my hotel stay, as I very much prefer sleeping at home whenever I can.
And the flight back was waaaaay longer! I flew from San Fran to Paris and Paris to Dubai. All direct flights had departed and I would have to wait another day 😅
@TheLayoverEatFly thanks for the update. Best of luck to you as you go forward and safe travels!
All the screens are touch but sadly your own is broken cause I use to fly with Ethiopian airlines and sometimes my screen was broken and sometimes I will have good luck
💓👍💟
Air Arabia next pls
Not next but yes it will be some time this year. I have a huge backlog of other flights.
Can't recall seeing Ethopian Airlines in Malaysia ... a first
They’ll probably come!😁
Were any of the options Ethiopian? Also, considering many Ethiopians are vegan, I'm surprised no vegan options were offered.
Vegan meals have to be requested in most airlines, so I think it’s the same case on Ethiopian.
And meal wise, nothing I noticed as being Ethiopian. But in Business Class there is!
I find it a very nice airline with great service i saw what happened in the bathroom funny cheers jerry
I must admit have never had a wine straight from the bottle. That’s weird that they have no plastic cups, maybe they are trying to save weight by not having them.
Plastic, paper, anything.. But yes, I even asked and they said no. Weird.
🥰
😃
Fly To Lebanon bro
I will once I have plenty of time, as I am super busy with work and family.
What is your favourite aircraft to fly on?
A350 and A380!
The people working that close to an active runway is very concerning
That was quite insane for me too! Something very bad could happen.
❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊🇪🇹🇪🇹🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
5:31 what was that?
Fearless workers!
Bro what is the next video
Some Dubai to Istanbul and some IndiGo after..
Ethiopian would be best in Africa
Esta aerolinea Etiopía airlines se parece casi a mí país Bolivia la aerolinea de mí país Bolivia es boliviana de aviación boa 🇧🇴
Estuve en tu pais en 2009, en Santa Cruz. La pase lindo.
May I know your job title?
Which one of them? 😂
I lead wonderful people in a well known major travel & hospitality group,
I buy and rent out real estate, I do RUclips and I’m a family guy!
Now take a flight to Pakistan and explore Pakistan aviation love from Pakistan ❤🇵🇰
I would love to, but I am on holidays in Croatia and have a very tight schedule for Feb and March..
I’m doing my best to go!
@@TheLayoverAviation How politically stable is Pakistan????
okay tomorrpw
12:24 Somali not Somalian.
I’m sure there are far more typo’s
Is cabin crew still wearing face mask 😷 I wanna see thier face 😁
I think it’s optional for whomever wants to wear it..
😏😏😏😏😏
You pretend to be a knowledgeable person.
If you want to know the incomparable quality of Ethiopian airlines, just compare the fleet age of so called major airlines and ask the reason why Delta Airline is performing well, it is due to them hiring the former CEO of Ethiopian Airlines as a senior advisor!
Go deeper and be amazed that it is an Ethiopian scientist at NASA who has invented an instrument that would discover water on moon(leave alone us being the best in aviation).
Do you also know that ET is the most profitable airlines in the world?
Before you do reviews and post, go and learn more; it doesn't hurt!
worst airline
Why ?
Get your facts right.Ethiopia is not a largely Christian country. Come with figures to support your claim.
Religion in Ethiopia consists of a number of faiths. Among these mainly Abrahamic religions, the most numerous is Christianity (Ethiopian Orthodoxy, P'ent'ay, Roman Catholic) totaling at 67.3%, followed by Islam at 31.3%.[1]
